i have a question. anyone is welcome to answer, though i'd especially appreciate POVs from immigrants with a visibly different ethnicity from the majority of their country of residence.
i moved from germany to france. no one here can tell i'm from germany until i open my mouth and speak somewhat broken french. should i call myself an immigrant on this platform? i feel like that term implies things about me that aren't necessarily true, but at the same time i do not want to call myself an "expat" because i don't want to put myself above anyone else who came to this country.
i am asking for opinions here, not dictionary definitions.
